SpaceX notches major wins during 10th Starship test


SpaceX notched some new wins with the tenth Starship test flight.

SpaceX’s massive Starship rocket lifted off on its tenth test flight Tuesday evening, hitting two long sought milestones and putting an end to a string of failures. Durin the last flight, the Ship reached space and then lost attitude control during the coast phase, preventing the payload doors from opening. The persistent issues have raised questions as to whether the rocket will be ready to land humans on the moon by mid-2027 for NASA, or when it will be capable of deploying next-gen Starlink satellites for the company.
